Description

1839-D Five Dollar, Choice AUA Pleasing, Problem-Free Example

1839-D $5 AU55 PCGS. CAC. Variety 2-A. Of the 125-150 pieces
known of the 1839-D half eagle in all grades, only 25-30 individual
coins are believed known in AU. As an Obverse Mintmark type coin
and the only year with the Liberty design, this is certainly an
attractive example. The striking details are well brought up on
each side, and these same design motifs show just a bit of high
point wear. Traces of mint luster can be seen surrounding the
devices, and the bright yellow-gold surfaces show occasional
splashes of deep reddish-gold patina. The 1839-D is rarely offered
in mint condition, and this problem-free Choice AU certainly makes
a wise choice for the collector of D-mint fives. Population: 8 in
55, 9 finer (3/11).(Registry
values: P4) (NGC ID# 25S9, PCGS# 8193)
